House Fire Kills 2 Children Left Alone
From Times Wire Reports
A house fire in Las Vegas killed a 2-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy who had been left alone, and their 4-year-old brother was in critical condition with burns. Fire investigators said the blaze was accidental and was started by a space heater that was plugged into an extension cord in a back bedroom. The parents reported they had left the house about 10 p.m. to get groceries and returned near midnight, about an hour after firefighters arrived, an official said. No charges have been filed.
